Marlins 7, Rays 4

Published Jun. 18, 2010 11:11 p.m. ET

Mike Stanton hit a grand slam for his first major league home run, part of a disastrous five-run first inning for Tampa Bay's Matt Garza, and the Florida Marlins went on to beat the Rays 7-4 Friday night.

Ronny Paulino had three hits and Chris Coghlan doubled twice for the Marlins.

Garza (7-5) had the shortest outing of his career, lasting just 1 1-3 innings and giving up seven runs on seven hits while walking three. His ERA climbed from 3.50 to 4.16, and he needed 49 pitches - the second-highest total by anyone in a single inning this season - just to record his first three outs.
